Can she save Ethan and their relationship before he implodes, or will he self-destruct and take her with him?

Review

This was a great book and Jade is a great storyteller, I knew from the way the story started out and sucked me right in. You get a story about love, making mistakes, taking chances, and finding yourself with the added benefit of hot sexy rockstars and a female heroine who is front and center for all the action and eventually learns to hold her own, which I loved! 4 stars

This is the story of Valerie and Ethan. You meet Valerie in the present and the book goes back and forth between the present in the past. Val starts out a young innocent college student and Bullet tells of Val's desperate attempt to hold on to her first love, the band's growth and touring adventures, her experience with other men, and finally ends with Val's transformation and her realizing she is exactly where she wants to be in life. Now, there were times that I wanted to throw my kindle and scream at Valerie....ugghhh please don't tell me you are gonna be one of those females! No matter how much you love a man once you see it with your own eyes enough is enough! But you know what they say, love is blind and even after all this, it was amazing to see Val's growth from a naive young girl into a sexy confident women.

Don't even get me started on Ethan, he really is toxic and he frustrated me to no end, honestly I wanted to cut his balls off! I HATE him for what he puts Valerie through, but shockingly can't wait to read his book to see what his thought process was although I don't know if he deserves his HEA. (Your gonna make me eat my words about Ethan aren't you Jade?)

Brad also plays a big part of this story. He is Ethan's friend and their band mate. He is Val's rock, she just has to figure that part out.....he is kind, compassionate, loving, and would do anything for her and is there for her when no one else is.

Now after all my ranting, what I want to say is this is how you know a book is amazing! Because I felt something.....I felt so many emotions while reading this book. Bullet was raw, real, gritty, frustrating, intriguing, sexy and a book you must definitely read!
